Application of emulsion

Following are the application of emulsion in different way:

1.   Milk is also example of emulsion. In which fat is soluble in water phase.

2.   Asphalt which used in preparation of roads is a emulsified in water is used for without the necessity of melting the asphalt.

3.  Many insecticides and pesticides which used in agriculture are also one type of emulsion.            

4. Paints and inks are also prepared by emulsification.

5. The digestion of fats process is also example emulsification. The absorption of  fats is the emulsification process.

6.  Cosmetics like cream and lotion are also prepared by emulsification method. Emulsified cosmetics have fine texture and a smooth touch upon application, so sustained release of the active ingredient from continues phase of emulsion can increase skin penetration of active ingredients and thus increase their concentration into the skin.

7.   Many Shampoo and hair conditioners are also example of emulsion. HLB scale or HLB system is used to decide which emulsifying agent is used.

8.   Emulsions can protect active molecules such as vitamins C and E from the external phase from oxidation.

9.   Emulsion is also used as antiaging products and sun skin lotion.

10.  The wet wipes which used for make-up removal, face care, body care & baby care products. In these products also emulsion is used.

11.   Some emulsion products are also patented for manufacturing.

14.    Emulsion is also used in screen printing, making the stencils. photo emulsion also used.

15. Emulsion is also used in food industry. Some food products are also made by emulsification process
